Got my "Art of SW: ROTS" book today (which of coarse I won't read until after May 19th)

Then had a close call /c a trailer today. I was watching A.Idol and then out of nowhere I see Anakin so I run quickly to my room while screaming so I couldn't hear anything. Gosh, they should put a warning label or something. I was afraid to come out of my room because I was worried that it was still on (but luckily it wasn't)

In about 30 min. there is going to be this thing on Discovery Channel about the SW vehicles and how they've influenced life on Earth. So I'm looking forward to that.

Somehow I missed the commercial during Idol. Must have had a potty emergency. However, later that night, the news achorette came on to give a brief preview of stories on the 11 o'clock news, when they open it with Sith clips--blast them all!! Nice that ROTS gets some publicity, but intro it first, dang it. By the time I found the remote, the clip was over. At least it wasn't a major spoiler, just some space battle.

Tonight is the Star Wars Festival. I can't wait for it!!! I had a difficult time concentrating in my classes today since I was/ still am, so excited. It's less than 30 hrs. for me as I'm going tomorrow at 7 pm.

Hope everyone has a great time (those at the midnight showing and those later on). This is the moment we've all been waiting for!

On another light note: In my geometry class my teacher honored the new movie by playing Weird Al's "Saga Begins". I started singing to it and then everyone turned to look at me Not that I'm complaining! Although I'll admit I was a little bit embarrased. He then played Weird Al's "Yoda" song and I hummed to that one.

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation in
To maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where... we found... this boy

Oh,
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday

Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance, to the Force?
They interview the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"

He was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We were singin' ...
My my this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

I went to that Star Wars Festival last night and I've got to say...WOW!!!

It was amazing. A friend (I'll just call him A as I don't want to give his name out)came home with me after school (since we had a school banquet to attend first- formal wear) then after that, went home quickly and I changed into a t-shirt and jeans. Then put my Jedi Robes and sash over that. Had my lightsaber and we were out the door. The two went to the theater [place where festival was held] and met up wiht another friend (I'll call him B) of ours so we just hung out for an hour and a half. A isn't that much of a SW fan but he does enjoy it. B and I are obsessive fans so A thought we were crazy. A ended up getting a ticket for 9:20 pm.

Sorry, digressed. At the festival, there was a vendor across the street so we went to check out his merchandise. Tons of great vintage stuff. Then back at the main festival there were people dressed up in costumes everywhere. One person even dressed herself up as Aayla Secura /c the blue paint/skin and everything. A, B, and I got our pictures taken with Jango Fett, Darth Vader, and a Stormtrooper.

Overall had an amazing time! Can't wait till tonight!

Left out one thing. There was a table where we could sign up for a FanForce. It's a FF that has just become official. They're called the "Outer Rim FanForce". A, B, and I joined up.
